They did it!
I was just having a conversation about the state of films and how everything needs a crazy exposition or twists and turns.
I've been beating the drum that we need 'sometimes' to be given a bare bones story. "Here's the plot laid out in the first few minutes... character x needs to accomplish y. Go!"
Audience now on edge of seat/couch glued to screen to see if character can pull it off.
Done.
This Tom Hanks character is a first time captain charged with escorting a convoy. Guard it against u-boats across the Atlantic to supply the war effort. Will he succeed?
Bravo! You did Apple! Tight one act story full of action!
